Denver’s Crusoe Details Its Role Building Google’s Texas AI Campus

Denver-based Crusoe said September 28 that it is developing Google’s Armstrong County, Texas, data-center campus for advanced AI computing. The disclosure identifies a Colorado developer on a named Google infrastructure project. It is not a campus opening: Google lists Armstrong County as in development.

Google announced the Armstrong County site on November 14, 2025. Crusoe says work broke ground in June 2025 and reports more than 5,500 skilled laborers on-site daily. That company-reported figure describes construction activity, not permanent jobs or Colorado hires.

The wind and cooling plan

Crusoe says the campus is designed to connect directly to Serena’s adjacent Goodnight 1 and Goodnight 2 wind farms. Goodnight 1 is operating and rated at 265.5 megawatts; Goodnight 2 has the same rating but remains under construction. The company says the design could send surplus wind generation to the grid when production exceeds campus demand.

The plan also calls for closed-loop, non-evaporative liquid cooling of the data-center equipment. Those details explain how Crusoe intends to supply electricity and manage heat for the AI campus. The wind farms’ megawatt ratings describe generation capacity, not computing capacity already available at the site.

Google’s previously announced $40 billion Texas investment extends through 2027 and covers infrastructure beyond Armstrong County. It is not a disclosed budget for this campus or a price for Crusoe’s work. Crusoe’s September 28 announcement establishes its developer role and intended site design while construction continues.
